Rockingham Art Prize 2025
Artefact: Repurposing our Rubble
What will humans think of our society in a thousand or more years? The fact that we have been careless with our resources and superior to all other living creatures will be more than obvious. This artwork explores the satirical idea that perhaps we need to develop products that all us to be perceived in a higher manner; what if we could trick our future selves into thinking we are better at recycling and repurposing our waste.
The annual City of Rockingham Art Prize (formerly the Art Awards) recognises artistic achievement in a range of categories. Each year Western Australian emerging and professional artists are invited to submit their works for selection, in any two or three-dimensional medium.
Artworks are selected and judged by an independent panel. Following judging, works are exhibited at the Rockingham Arts Centre.
The 2025 City of Rockingham Art Prize exhibition, curated by Sandra Murray, featured works by 76 exceptional finalists across a range of artistic mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and mixed media.
The exhibition ran from Saturday 14 June to Sunday 6 July 2025 at the Rockingham Arts Centre.
